Historic 110-ton Holyoke home moved from Yankee Pedlar
The home, built in 1923 was once part of the Yankee Pedlar, which is to be demolished to make way for a new PeoplesBank. As part of the agreement that allows the former restaurant and inn to be demolished, the bank owners had to offer the house next to it to anyone who agreed to move it. OneHolyoke CDC, a private non-profit housing provider, stepped up and offered to move the building to a vacant lot it purchased at 278 Pine St. The building will be converted into a two-family home in a $345,000 rehabilitation project.
